Website Accessibility Statement

This website is run by Bradford AP Academy.
This accessibility statement applies to www.bradfordapacademy.co.uk.

We want as many people as possible to be able to use this website.

For example, this means you should be able to:

• change colours, contrast levels and fonts using browser or device settings
• zoom in up to 400% without the text spilling off the screen
• navigate most of the website using a keyboard or speech recognition software
• listen to most of the website using a screen reader (including recent versions of JAWS, NVDA and VoiceOver)

We have also aimed to make the website text as clear and simple as possible to understand.

AbilityNet provides advice on making your device easier to use if you have a disability.

Compliance status

Under the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018, primary and secondary schools and nurseries are exempt from the accessibility regulations, except for the content people need to access their services.

As a result, parts of this school website may not fully meet Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.2 AA standards.

However, we are committed to making sure that essential information required to access our services is accessible and usable for all.

Content that must be accessible

We aim to ensure that content people need in order to use our services is accessible. This includes, for example:

• contact information
• admissions information
• policies and statutory information
• forms needed to access services (such as applications or requests)

If you experience difficulty accessing any essential information on this website, please contact us using the details below and we will provide the information in an alternative format where reasonably practicable.

Non‑accessible content

Some parts of this website may not be fully accessible, including:

PDFs and other documents

Some older documents (such as historic PDFs) may not be fully accessible to screen reader software. New documents published to the website are intended to be accessible by default.

Images

Some images may not include appropriate alternative text. This can affect users of screen readers.

Video

Some older or externally hosted videos may not include captions or transcripts.

Tables

Some tables may not have the correct structural markup, which can affect accessibility for screen reader or keyboard users.

Colour contrast

In some areas, text and background colour combinations may not fully meet contrast requirements.

We aim to address these issues over time, particularly when content is updated or where issues are brought to our attention.

Third‑party content

This website may include links to third‑party websites or externally hosted content. We cannot guarantee the accessibility of content that is not under our control.

What we’re doing to improve accessibility

Bradford AP Academy is committed to improving accessibility by:

• considering accessibility when publishing new content
• aiming to ensure new documents and key information are accessible
• responding to feedback from users who experience difficulty accessing information
• reviewing this accessibility statement periodically

Reporting accessibility problems

If you find any accessibility problems on this website, or need information in a different format, please contact us:

Email: admin@bradfordapacademy.co.uk
Telephone: 01274 585 318

When reporting an issue, please tell us:

• which page or information you were trying to access
• what the problem was
• how you would prefer to receive the information

Enforcement procedure

The Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) is responsible for enforcing the accessibility regulations.

However, because schools are largely exempt from the regulations (except for service‑essential content), the EHRC may not investigate issues relating to non‑essential school website content. If you believe essential information is not accessible, please contact the school in the first instance.

Commitment to inclusion

Bradford AP Academy values diversity and inclusion and is committed to ensuring that all members of our community can access our information and services.
